    There's a initiative right now to give out free games to people. You can nominate anyone you know who you think deserves a free game, and they'll get a free key for a game of their choice from a list of games.

    Check it out, and nominate someone you know.

    I may be too tired but I didn't quite understand any of it.

    Nominate someone to receive certain game for free? Then someone buys it for that person?

    The publishers/developers of said games are getting compensated for this, right?

    That's what I was thinking of. It doesn't really help anyone if the devs get ripped off. It just leads to more dumbed down AAA games and less original ideas because indies can't take a lot of beating. They go down and if market's poor then they stay out after being pushed out. The big ones will always stay on top because of their massive size and marketing.

    It's not directly #GamerGate. It's for anyone that wants a free game. We all came together and started pooling our duplicate game keys together and handing them out. I had some from some Humble Bundles I got so I handed them out to some people who were nominated for free games. You can nominate ANYONE for a free game, we don't care.

    They're for games that people already have and haven't redeemed yet because they don't want them, or they already have another copy of it. We're not pirating anything or demanding games from developers.

    We've got a new form for donating games, if anyone is interested. We're back up to 750 games to hand out. We've also working to get it incorporated as a legitimate charity now.

    Check out the list, and nominate someone for a free game! There are NO strings attached to this. We're just trying to get spare games out to people, specifically people who don't game but may be interested in it. Help me out, 'Borg. We gots so many games.
